Grammy Awards - Entertainment Law - Music Industry Faces Lingering ...

More recording artists bypass major record labels; Burns & Levinson entertainment attorney George N. Tobia Jr. raises issues in the new music arena

BOSTON--LAWFUEL - Entertainment Law News -As a growing number of singers and other recording artists bypass major record labels in favor of distributing music via the Internet, questions persist regarding the financial future of the music industry, says George N. Tobia Jr., an entertainment and media lawyer for Boston-based Burns & Levinson.

The good news is that, as with self-publishing, recording artists are able to distribute their music directly to an audience without using a record label, said Tobia, chairman of Burns & Levinsons Entertainment & Media Law Group. But when these artists attain notoriety, how do they benefit financially with no backing from a record label? That will be a key question in the music industry, for artists and labels alike.

'Failure to Launch' Back On Track For HD DVD?

For a few brief days early last year, Paramount Home Entertainment announced to retailers that 'Failure to Launch' would be released simultaneously on HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc as a new special collector's edition in February. Then, without warning, the title vanished from Paramount's listings and online retailer listings.

We've always assumed 'Failure to Launch' was more a victim of marketing playing with release dates and timeframes than anything else, so it comes as no surprise to see it appear on Toshiba's HD DVD promotional website www.thelookandsoundofperfect.com under coming soon releases, complete with cover art. Ironically all the other titles listed on that site under coming soon have already been announced which leads us to believe Paramount is gearing up to re-announce 'Failure to Launch' for both high-def formats shortly barring another unforeseen setback.

LAS VEGAS, March 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: PNK) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2006.

For the fourth quarter of 2006, revenues and adjusted EBITDA(1) were $212.7 million and $34.5 million, respectively. The fourth quarter's results reflect the continued maturation of L'Auberge du Lac in Lake Charles, Louisiana, as well as more normalized results at Boomtown New Orleans, which remain strong relative to pre-hurricane levels. Revenues and adjusted EBITDA for the prior year's quarter were $227.0 million and $46.0 million, respectively. Last year's fourth quarter results included extraordinary results at Boomtown New Orleans which, after Hurricane Katrina, benefited from the temporary closure of many competitors in the New Orleans and Gulf Coast areas.
